What would be a good portable Dac/Amp to use with my HD6xx and Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone?
I am new to this hobby. I purchased a HD6XX and plan to use it with my Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone, that has a 3.5mm jack. I was wondering if I needed a portable dac/amp or just a portable amp and if so what would one recommend? Any assistance one could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Haz

People who are complaining possibly are not amping these. They are power hungry. I ran them first directly out of an iPod classic and felt meh. Fiio e18k, low gain + bass boost and volume at 5 and the bass is no where near lacking.
Fwiw I'm currently listening to drum and bass and feel satisfied. Sure, they are not the Ultrasone pro 900 that I just sold, but they are pretty damn good for $35.
For reference, my headphone lineup currently is beyerdynamic 990, sennheiser hd700, akg k812, hifiman he 350, audio Technica m50x, Sony mdr7506
I enjoy music and different sound that different headphones produce so I'm always buying and selling in search of the perfect one. As I said I recently sold Ultrasone pro 900, as well as sennheiser hd598, and akg Q701
In general, they are a very well respected quality company. I would think they are very good headphones
